Efficient Real-Time Tool Chatter Detection Through Bandpass Filtering

Tool Chatter or Self-Excited Vibration is a common issue in machining processes. This phenomenon arises due to various factors, such as tool rigidity, depth of cut, spindle speed, etc., leading to poor surface finish, excessive tool wear, and premature deterioration of machine components. To prevent...

description Tool Chatter or Self-Excited Vibration is a common issue in machining processes. This phenomenon arises due to various factors, such as tool rigidity, depth of cut, spindle speed, etc., leading to poor surface finish, excessive tool wear, and premature deterioration of machine components. To prevent tool chatter, a real-time chatter detection algorithm was developed using a low-cost accelerometer in combination with internal machine variables. The algorithm operates without requiring a prior model of the specific tool characteristics, making it capable of detecting chatter by simply knowing the number of teeth of the active tool. Furthermore, the implementation of the detection algorithm meets the strict requirements of real-time embedded systems, ensuring high determinism, low latency, and minimal computational cost. This enables efficient and optimal integration into the machine. The developed chatter detection system was validated through machine-based experimental testing.
